I keep telling people the best thing to do is Exercise, eat well, and get a good nights sleep! Yes, a sinemet (Levodopa) does wonders! I should add vaccinate to that.

Mom's advice was always "don't sweat the small stuff, and when in comes down to it, it is all small stuff".

For me, nothing like a nice sunrise and an espresso to start the day. Life with Parkinsons and Cancer, but I still love a good sunrise and espresso to start the day!

Congrats.

A friend had one testicle, the other never dropped! There is an option of having a little sac installed, but he was like 'fuck it' my wife all ready knows I have one ball.

Good luck with surgery (it's straight forward) but do follow up with your follow up scans.

Alcohol hand sanitizer.

Wear a face mask during the flight.

Don't touch your eyes!

Parkinson's person here, sadly we are at much greater risk to do respiratory issues (Parkinson's isn't fatal, but with advance stages things like pneumonia are often fatal - 71% of Parkinson's deaths are due to aspiration pneumonia).

What is PseudoBulbar Affect (PBA)?

PBA is a condition that causes uncontrollable crying and/or laughing that happens suddenly and frequently. It can happen in people with a brain injury or certain neurologic conditions.

A person having a PBA crying spell may cry when they don’t feel sad or when they only feel a little bit sad. Someone having a PBA laughing spell may laugh when they don’t feel amused or when they only feel a little bit amused.

Parkinson's guy here. There is a term for that. Found it!

At my mother funeral, I started laughing. It was like my emotions are all scrambled, I was trying to stuff my hand in my face to keep noise down. My sister, hospice RN, knew what is was and covered for me by putting her arm around me and saying we all saddened by Mom's death. I was wtf is wrong me? My siblings understood, rest of the extended family wasn't sure.

Interstate transport. If I fly from Los Angeles to Seattle but am stopped by TSA (airports are Federal jurisdiction), what is my best course of action if questioned about gummies in my possession?
